World Cup 2023: Pakistan files MULTIPLE complaints against India about THIS

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has filed multiple complaints with the International Cricket Council (ICC) after the India-Pakistan face-off at the ICC World Cup 2023. The grievances pertain to alleged “inappropriate behaviour" from the crowd and various visa issues concerning Pakistani journalists and fans.

 

These complaints came after a crowd of over 100,000 witnessed India winning against Pakistan by 7 wickets at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on Oct 14. The Indian team extended their unbeaten World Cup record against Pakistan to 8-0.

 

It should be noted that there has always been intense atmosphere among with fans whenever there has been IND vs PAK. There were times when Pakistani fans used to boo the Indian team and vice versa.

 

Moreover, the PCB has voiced discontent over the delays in visa allotments for Pakistani journalists wishing to cover the World Cup. Only a small number of reporters from Pakistan made it to Ahmedabad, leading to limited coverage of the tournament back in Pakistan.

 

“The PCB is extremely disappointed to see that journalists from Pakistan and fans are still facing uncertainty about obtaining an Indian visa to cover Pakistan games in ICC World Cup 2023," ESPNcricinfo quoted the board as saying in an earlier statement.

 

This situation prompted another complaint from the PCB, regarding the absence of a clear visa policy for Pakistani fans wishing to attend the games in India.

 

What is PCB saying now?

 

“The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has lodged another formal protest with the ICC over delays in visas for Pakistani journalists and the absence of a visa policy for Pakistan fans for the ongoing World Cup 2023," the PCB tweeted. “The PCB has also filed a complaint regarding inappropriate conduct targeted at the Pakistan squad during the India vs Pakistan match held on 14 October 2023."

 

 

Besides, India will lock horns against Bangladesh on October 19 which is set to be played in Pune.
